Ammon News - Melania Trump’s 2005 wedding dress is supposedly up for auction for less than half of what it originally cost her — and it looks completely different.
The gown — worn by the First Lady of the United States to marry Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, 20 years ago — weighed exactly 60 pounds and cost $100,000, according to Page Six.
Now, it appears to have been listed for a fraction of the cost. eBay seller Svjabc1 put the dress up for auction starting at $45,000, after she claimed to have bought the custom gown for $70,000 to wear to her own wedding in 2010.
“Christian Dior wedding dress specifically designed by John Galliano for Melania Trump’s wedding to Donald Trump. United States PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP,” the item description reads.
In pictures shared by the seller online, Melania can be seen walking hand-in-hand with Trump down the aisle in the original ivory, duchesse satin gown, which was made to be strapless.
“This dress had more than 500 hours worth of hand-sewn crystal beading Swarovski crystals were used with a 13-foot train,” the listing description continues alongside a screenshot of Melania in the historic gown on the February 2005 cover of Vogue, shot by Mario Testino.
Images of the dress up for sale show intricate foliage-inspired beading crawling up the once-plain bodice with two shoulder straps and a satin waist sash.
“Because Melania trump was a size 0-2 I had to have this dress made a little bigger as I was a size 4-6,” the seller explained. “I added a new layer of satin to the bottom of the dress and a few more embroidery pieces on the top, plus there was a new layer of fabric that was added to the back of the dress and straps as my chest is much bigger than Melania.”
However, the seller said the dress size can be adjusted back to fit anyone sizes 0 to 2 by removing the back layer. Independent
